DHA (dihydroxyacetone, 60 mM) with ascorbic acid (d-ascorbate, 10 mM) kept 2,3-DPG concentrations above normal for six weeks. Levels of 2,3-DPG were below normal after four weeks with DHA alone and after two weeks with DHA-ascorbate-phosphate. As in previous studies, high phosphate concentrations decreased 2,3-DPG maintenance. ATP maintenance was best achieved with the following (in order of performance): DHA-phosphate (20 mM); DHA-phosphate (10 mM); the control, CPD-adenine preservative; Phosphate 20 mM; and DHA. DHA with ascorbate provides normal 2,3-DPG for six weeks. The adverse effects of DHA and DHA with ascorbate on ATP levels are modified by 10 mM phosphate.
